MPS and SOAP

I am currenlty working on a project that requires me to provision Exchnage for a customer. The customer is currently familiar with the concept of MailBoxPlans which is part of Microsoft Provisionng Service. I am under the understanding that MPScan also
handle requests from rmote computers through SOAP. Herein lies my problem. How to I send SOAP request to MPS? Of my limited knowledge of MIcrosoft's solution to web services, it is my understanding that I need to connect to IIS. However, I am not sure
which web site i need to POST SOAP message to? How do I determine this infomaton? Any hepl would be greatly appreciated. PS The customer is not very knowlegeable with MIcrosoft products. I do have remote access to their server.

Re: MPS and SOAP

What programming language are you using? If you using .NET the easiest way is bypass SOAP, and just add a web reference, once you do that you will be able to call it as a method like any other assembly. Once you've done that .NET handles all the SOAP conversion
in the background leaving you to get on with writing your code.

Re: MPS and SOAP

I am now able to send SOAP requests to MPS and receive actual repsonses! Unfortunately, late last night, the system crapped out on me and now my connections are always getting dropped. I'm going to install the SP1 patch on the servers as I hear this may
resolve an issue which involves MoM dropping connections if they take more than a second.
